We made this song almost two years ago now. One of us had just exited a long term relationship and was going through it, bad. This was the first song we recorded following that situation. It felt like a message. it wasn't planned. it all just came out, with ease. It was like a "hey, don't feel bad for yourself. fuck her. fuck everybody at that point really. Keep your head up, things are starting to happen with this music shit. Just keep going and getting better, you don't need anybody," type message.
This song just created itself basically. I think it was written in like 10-15 minutes. One of those special pieces that felt like it was made in a blackout. Those only tend to come together when you're going through some serious shit. And then without even realizing it, you're probably coping with it by creating that piece of art.
Little did we know, this was the beginning of what would become our album: 'PAIN MUSEUM'. Unconsciously, this song birthed an entire project. It wasn't until later that we made the correlation, but what we did know at that moment, was that we both were in pain. Under completely different circumstances, the one thing we knew we had in common was pain. We were both simultaneously dealing with depression and anxiety, for different reasons. But the glue that kept everything together was the fact that we were hurting together.
Pain became a central theme around all the new material we were creating, and then one day everything clicked. We're building an album. We're building a museum. And we have to credit "PNTHR" for giving birth to this entire concept and credit to the circumstances we dealt with for birthing this universe. We've nearly lost our minds on multiple occasions while building this museum, but it's finally yours on May 13th. No better way to open the museum, than with the exhibit that started it.
